Helped by Anduril and Long Bow of Power early, then got Calris for big-battle swapping and a great Long Bow of Lothlorien. Thranduil and the Palantir made me a lot more efficient at some point. Then I picked up Nenya and Soulkeeper from a greater undead pit just before facing the last few uniques, and I got Eonwe while killing some of the big boys. I was very excited when I could put together Eonwe/Narya/Elessar/Soulkeeper with enough bits and pieces to max my HP, give me +20 speed, and leave only sound and shards unresisted (with AC 223!). My Long Bow of Lothlorien (+2), Ring of Speed +14, and Shield of Deflection of Preservation +41 were my favorite non-artifact finds. I was disappointed I didn't find Bard, Ringil, or the artifact DSMs---maybe I'll look around below dlvl 100.

Sauron and Morgoth were disappointingly easy, perhaps because they couldn't summon uniques (thanks, Qzzlasdfkjadasdf). I've seen people on here complaining that rangers have it too easy at the end with the 3 shots per turn, and I think they're right. On the other hand, I'm sure I dove way slower than necessary.

This character was lots of fun, and a good bit of nostalgia since I last played the game 7 or 8 years ago. I've heard wizards are fun, and I'd like to see all the spells, so I may try that next, then perhaps a rogue---I really hope the gameplay is different so I don't have to give up my favorite time sink of the past few months.

Thanks, everyone, for the character dumps and comments I used as a strategy guide.
